Announcing Marvel September 2024 Collected Editions – LIVE on Near Mint Condition

by

Today I’m live with Near Mint Condition @ 2:30pm US ET to announce Marvel September 2024 collected editions – including omnibuses, Masterworks, Epic Collections, and new trade paperbacks. This is the official, exclusive announcement of Marvel September 2024 Collected Edition solicits on the web – Near Mint Condition receives them directly from Marvel!

I’ll be on a panel with my friends Omar of Near Mint Condition, Jess the Omnidog, Lars of Mad Norwgian Press, Kurtis of Epic Marvel Podcast, and more to discuss every new release. Per usual, I’ve read everything new from Marvel in this catalog – so I have lots of recommendations to make!

Tune in to Near Mint Condition on YouTube live @ 2:0pm ET today or watch our stream as a replay to hear all the announcements.

Debating our Evergreen Batman Omnibus List – LIVE on Near Mint Condition

by

Near Mint Condition Evergreen Batman Omnibus ListAre you ready to rumble? Tomorrow – Thursday May 23 @ 6:30 PM US ET, I’m live with Near Mint Condition to share my Evergreen Batman Omnibus List – that means the Batman books should never go out of print!

Of course, I’m not a noted Batman fan, so what do I have to contribute to this debate? Well, over the past several weeks of DC Omnibus mapping I made time to read a handful of issues from every single Batman & Bat-Family omnibus ever printed by DC. Not only did I want to make an informed vote, I wanted to be able to joust with all of our many merry guests!

I’ll be co-hosting this debate with Uncanny Omar of Near Mint Condition, featuring  Jess the Omnidog, Lars of Mad Norwegian Press, Jake from The Brave & The Boys, Wonder Maddie from NMC’s Old Reader / New Reader, and even more distinguished panelists. We will each share our 3 picks for Batman & Bat-Family evergreen omnibus volumes… and then we’ll fight tooth and nail over our officially endorsed Evergreen Batman Omnibus List of 10 books. Plus, viewers on the live stream will get to have their say to correct our mistakes and choose their own fan vote!

It’s the stream that is half serious recommendations, half a cut-throat game show of all of us trying to block other people’s recommendations so that all of our own make the list.

Tune in to Near Mint Condition on YouTube tomorrow to find out!

The Rest of DC Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Poll

by

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - Anthology and Brave and the Bold Omnibus MappingThe Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Poll is now live and this is the final post of mapping prospective omnibuses to guide your voting! This posts covers everything else I haven’t yet mapped, including DC anthology and team-up comics (like a Brave and the Bold omnibus), war books, and creator-centric titles.

If you don’t know DC well enough to know what to vote for, stick around for my explanations! Learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including giving us feedback if we missed the mark.

If voting is now open, you can use this as your crib sheet! Or… just find some great comics to read!

Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how DC could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of DC creating a book with that title or covering that period.

High-effort, heavily-researched, over-the-top comics posts like this one are made possible via the support of Patrons of Crushing Krisis. For less than the cost of a single comic issue a month you can fuel my in-depth comics coverage, plus gain access to dozens of exclusive collecting guides & reading orders – including all of the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics.
